According to Marca, Everton manager Rafael Benitez does not like James Rodriguez.
The report in the Spanish publication has claimed that James could leave Everton before the summer transfer window closes.
The former Real Madrid attacker himself does not know what will happen regarding his future.
What now for James Rodriguez?
James joined Everton only last summer when Carlo Ancelotti was in charge of the Toffees.
Ancelotti worked with the attacking midfielder at Madrid and at Bayern Munich.
However, the Italian left earlier this summer, and another former Madrid boss, Benitez, is now the manager of the Merseyside club.
If the Spaniard does not like and want James in his squad, then it is hard to see the 30-year-old have a future at Everton.
The problem is that James has a contract with the Premier League club until June 2022 with the option of another year.
Could Everton simply terminate James’s contract now? Would the Colombian, who can also play as a winger, be happy with that?
Maybe for now Benitez should try to make use of James, as he is a good player who adds creativity to the team.
The former Madrid star scored six goals and gave four assists in 21 Premier League starts for Everton last season.
